Guest Post: Back the Stealthy Badgers Queen of Code Competition Entry

In a former life I was a computing teacher, a job I enjoyed very much. I had the good fortune to meet and teach some wonderful young people who are still in contact with me today. One of them contacted me recently to ask that I help back their competition entry in the Queen of Code. The Queen of Code Campaign is an amazing campaign that is helping push the way for females in the computing world by driving equal opportunities for all. They have teamed up with Creative England and Crowdfunder this time to help push female Game Designers get the recognition that they deserve.

You can help them reach the top 5 by backing their project 'Junior Ninja' for as little as £2. I did back their entry and I hope you will too after you read a little about them:

Who are Stealthy Badger Studios?

Stealthy Badger Studios is an indie games development team based in london. We are currently a team of 6 with our only female team member Tish leading us. Currently we are developing a mobile game called Junior Ninja and are taking part in the Queen of Code campaign with Creative England and Crowdfunder.

Junior Ninja is a 2D platformer for mobiles which sets our ninja, Ned, challenges and training to help him pass his ninja exams and become a fully qualified member of the team. Help Ned move, Jump, and fight his way to glory while collecting as many coins as possible. We’re currently looking to publish our simple prototype online for people to play, so players can get a feel for the style of gameplay. However, this means players will be greeted by Square Ned, as Ninja Ned is still a working progress and we need your help to hire artists to make Ned look his best!

About Me

A collection of video logs about inspirational women in the fields of computing, science, technology and engineering.

I noticed that the uptake of these subjects by teenage girls in higher education was limited, and that female students would opt for more creative and academic subjects like Art, Dance or Humanities. I wanted to develop a network of individuals who could inspire a new generation to take up more traditionally geeky subjects. The theory being that if students can see how creative some careers are that they would be more inspired.
